It's also the birthday of the unjustly ignored Charlie Gracie.

It's also the birthday of the unjustly ignored Charlie Gracie. Yeah, I saw when you put that on FB and have been listening to him on Spotify this afternoon. My listening's been all over the map lately, which is probably a function of having pretty much everything available. |

Devo's debut album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! remains one of their strongest. The 2009 Deluxe Remastered Edition which I highly recommend checking out contains a live version of the entire album as bonus tracks.

Buddy should be picking up tickets for us to see Steve Earle in a very small venue in Ketchum, Idaho. Cannot wait.

Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures is another influential and ground breaking debut album.

Saw Devo in 12/81 in Phoenix. Their videos served as the opening act.

One of my favorite Lou Reed solo albums (second only to Transformer) is his sixth solo record Coney Island Baby which is tragically underrated. There's really not a bad song on there.

Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures is another influential and ground breaking debut album. It is indeed. Joy Division perfectly encapsulated what P. J. O'Rourke describes as "the uncertain and frenetic nature of modern life." Unknown Pleasures is, at its core, a set of insecurities and nervous tics set to music on an album that is both exhilarating and in need of a hug. |

One of Little Stevie's favorites from his garage and one of mine as well...
The Chesterfield Kings

Nope. I haven't seen him. He comes through Boise a lot...but I've never seen him.

Since 1987, I think I've seen him every time he played either Madison or Milwaukee (with the exception of his opening act for Dylan show.) You're in for a good show. The present version of The Dukes (and Duchesses) is the best one I've ever seen. |

I agree, one of his very best. I'd put The Bells, Street Hassle, and Berlin up there too along with this one and Transformer as his top solo records. There were quite a few others that were very good as well, but those five stand out for me. |
